A little clarification here.
The at-fault driver (Car A) had the CA minimum liability coverage: $10,000
There were two damaged cars: the car between the at-fault and my car (Car B) and my car (Car C).
Damage to Car B was $12,928.72 (the totaled vehicle value).
Damage to Car C was $33,188.01...
The thread is TL; so I DR ... but @obiwan, I thought you might find something in my experience to be helpful.
I received a diminished value claim for my Taycan.
In short, I was rear ended. The at fault driver hit the car behind me which then slammed into me.
I have USAA insurance with...
My city recently enabled time of day charging. I am attempting to minimize cost using the TOD charging profiles and am running into a similar if not the same problem of the vehicle now charging to 100% when it used to stop at 80%.
Have run across this website: "How can I use Porsche Charging...
Anecdotally, I would say this point makes the case. Many of the Taycan owners I know don't even know this forum exists –> And most have have no problems with their cars. I'm a lucky J1.1 owner (MY21) who has had a great experience, paid attention to the service bulletins, and have a very good...
I thought I was imagining things - glad to read that others have experienced a range boost with this update. Now, for the MY21 Turbo S, the boos it barely enough to get to the grocery store - but I'll take it :-)
That's amazing tire life! And the edges of your tread still look deep - maybe high inflation with center wear? You'll enjoy a new pair of shoes when you get them.
And glad you made it home - I was told my my tire and alignment specialist and dealer (yes, I've lived the through this too) that a...
Ah yes, why indeed. I needed a tool to pick a rock out of the rear foot well vent. The fob was in my hand, making the emergency key the most immediately available and well sized tool for the job. I assume the emergency key was not subsequently snapped into the fob correctly and dropped onto a...
At 6' 6", both my son and I claim the front seats relegating my 5' 10" daughter to the rear. I've not had the pleasure of driving an ST or CT > but by spec the ST gives 1.77" and CT 2" more rear seat headroom than the sedan.

FWIW, the maintenance lead at Redwood City Porsche here in Palo Alto, CA dissuaded me from buying an extended maintenance plan when my four years of maintenance expired.
Like you, @CoolDadLo, I purchased the car...
I asked Claude to do an analysis. This is what came back (public link):

@Nickj - Here is one way to think of your situation:
You drove a Taycan for five years, essentially for free. That's amazing! Now you have a chance to keep enjoying your Taycan for three more years with financial peace of mind for a mere £378, plus £3080.
For perspective, I've paid £7,245...
@pjg03d Redwood City Porsche here in the San Francisco Bay area, a high volume dealer, outsources PPF application. My understanding from this dealer, is that PPF is typically not done by dealers themselves, but done under contract with local providers.
Those providers may be offered a bay at...
